《APPEARANCE》

Being built for racing, Blurr’s frame is very aerodynamic with each edge of plating sharp and angled. His helm has two fins angled into an upward position, near perfectly resembling the design of a Valkyrie helmet. On the top of his helm he has a squared angled fin that narrows out into a fine point. The rest of his chassis has vents placed on the largest parts of his body, such as his shoulder plating and thigh plating. One of his most predominant features are his two large turbo engines on his back plating that resemble a jetpack-like design. Two tires rest in his shoulder plating while the other two are formed into his peds. In general Blurr is a perfect hourglass shape, his armor is light, this way he can achieve top speeds more efficiently.

《Pertinent History》

︾THE GOLDEN AGE︾

Blurr was forged in the golden age, before the time of the war. Like most forged Cybertronians in this period, his frame was made through Sentio Metallico and Blurr was pre-designed for a speedster type. After learning about the Cybertronian society as a new spark inside the city of Ibex, Blurr had nothing but time to discover his interests.



Naturally, Blurr was already given a racing-type frame, which was his golden ticket to his success. It didn’t take long for him to grow accustomed to it and discover that racing was his passion. The eager speedster raced on public tracks at any available time he had and slowly began to discover his hidden speed. When Blurr was eligible to enter the races, He trained hard and performed with overwhelming speeds. It was only a rather quick matter of time before his reputation grew.

Blurr became what he was made for and he was satisfied with the outcome. He had it all, Fame, handsome looks, shanix, engex, access to all the best clubs and bars... There was nowhere he could go where he wasn't recognized and loved. Blurr made news headlines often and he was dubbed as Cyberton’s number one racer, breaking records no others have! Blurr won 16 Ibex cups, each of those 16 victories he set new records above his previous ones. Though such fame and lavish living and surrounding himself by 'yes men' made the speedster develop selfish traits.



Since life came easy to him, everything was handed to him on a silver platter. Blurr loved the attention and his fans loved him... or at least they liked to believe they did. However due to his self centered attitude, everyone who worked alongside or truly got to meet him learned to dislike him. Blurr never truly cared for anyone but himself and always failed to recognize that others were not on the same social level as he was.

︾THE WAR AND CONFLICT︾

Uprisings started across Cybertron and Blurr, who was swallowed in his own 'perfect' world, failed to notice. Not until he was confronted about it by reporters and fans. Blurr wasn't quite sure how to answer these questions, so he just turned the attention back to him. Over time and after being a bit more exposed to the conflict, Blurr did his best to ignore it, he never believed that these issues would grow to the point where it would affect his life. Though they did in fact begin to affect the racer. The races had been shut down after a track was bombed and when hearing about such news, Blurr began to fear of what was going to happen. At first he tried to take his anger out on the race’s manager, but accomplished nothing. It didn't take long for Blurr to lose his career which invited many to walk out of his life. things seemed to crumble one thing after the next and Blurr was conflicted and angry at the world around him... to make things worse he found himself being tugged back and forth by others who either advised him to take a side, or attempted to manipulate him into one.



Things were unclear for a long time for the ex-racer, but after being rescued during a crossfire by an inspiring mech changed Blurr’s view on things. This stranger had said something to Blurr that made him view things differently. The unknown stranger, who went by the name Orion Pax, sided with the Autobots and helped the speedster realize that he could make a positive difference with his unnatural speed and be recognized for it. Only he had the ability to outrun the danger and assist in aiding others in danger. Blurr finally found his calling and agreed to assist Autobots where he could before being officially called one himself.



However Blurr still craved to constantly be on the move, and since the races were no more, he indulged in illegal racing. Even though it was useful for teaching him many new offensive tactics and strategies, it was dangerous. He had taken multiple hard crashes, one resulting in some damage to his processor affecting his memory slightly. Not wanting to risk his health for the thrill of racing, Blurr left the races and instead became more involved with the battle against the Decepticons. Blurr was best at distracting the enemy, for his speed was unseen. It was easier for him to dodge attacks compared to others, not to mention his weapons were modified to handle his rapid firing skills.



Due to the speedster’s unique battle skills, he was appointed and trained as a Wrecker. Most of his job consisted of him brutally ambushing Decepticons and anyone partnered with them. Blurr was trained to be useful in close and semi-ranged combat and he usually was back-up for the team since most Wreckers are heavily built and could take multiple hits. However if they ever needed more offensive power, Blurr slid in and provided pressure with his speed. The Wreckers were a feared group by many Decepticons and some Autobots alike, they showed no mercy and had battle tactics and strength like no other, gruesomely performing forms of violence, which is why they had to be stopped. Ultra Magnus soon stepped into the spotlight, holding back the Wreckers with his new restrictive demands and rules. Blurr usually never caused much damage or broke the rules but he did complain about never having anything to do, so he voiced his opinions a lot. Though being annoying never worked out in his favor. Sick and tired of feeling trapped, Blurr, with such an active ability, didn’t have the patience to wait around until Ultra Magnus made up his mind.



Blurr left and escaped in a pod to go and find some other group of Autobots to join. Blurr drifted through the vast reaches of space and as time went on, his supply of energon started to become low… and just when all hope seemed to be lost, he had received a message, one from a Prime reaching out to lost Autobots and inviting them to a safe haven. Blurr set the systems of the pod to track the coordinates and then stepped into stasis to reserve the remaining energy he had left.

︾HOMEWARD BOUND︾

Upon arriving on Earth, Blurr was awoken from stasis after the pod had crashed into the Sonoran Desert. Unaware of the dangers outside, Blurr activated his distress signal and armed himself quickly, breaking out of the pod. Until A space bridge had appeared and Blurr was met face to face with some of the members of Team Prime.

《Personality》

Blurr has been through and seen a lot during the years of the war, and it is safe to say that he hated it. The ex-racer can fight, and he’s good at it, but he always dreamed of a place where he didn’t have to worry about possibly being fatally shot the next cycle. Blurr will fight for what he believes is right and he will also gladly fight alongside his friends if they need his help, but he isn’t the kind to go looking for trouble. He’s a strong believer in doing important things with a team, for he knows nothing good comes out of doing jobs solo.



The cyan mech is an engager, always welcoming others to join in open conversation. He’s a good person to talk to, he'll always listen, even if he’s busy.



From originally being careless and caught up in everything that was in his best interest, Blurr grew to develop a genuine spark. He takes missions seriously and friendly feuds lightly. He carries out simple actions with pure passion, however his ego should be noted. Blurr has always had an ego about himself and his accomplishments… albeit it’s not as bad as it was on Cybertron but he still thinks highly of his skills and is competitive. When it comes to his ‘need for speed’, sometimes he forgets that not everyone is as quick as he is and constantly reminds himself to slow down. His mindset is always in the highest gear, and because he’s capable of reacting very quickly to decisions, he’s been known to make some poor choices. He will be the first to admit that he doesn’t think about consequences. This was a huge issue he had before the war, however he’s learned to analyze and assess situations… but on occasion, he does fall into his old bad habits, especially when stressed out.



All in all, Blurr is not perfect, and he accepts that fact. He does what he believes is best for himself and those around him, and even if he’s wrong, he’ll always try to fix his mistakes pretty quickly.
                      

《Strengths/Weapons》

︾Speed︾
Blurr is fast, this is known, but he is so abnormally fast that it makes him very unique. This does not include his alt mode, just running alone, Blurr can reach over mach 1 and over time it grows! Right now his max speed is 800 MPH just on foot.



︾Agility︾
Because he is fast and lightly built, Blurr has a lot of control over his frame. He’s flexible so skidding, turning and dodging is pretty easy for him.



︾Open areas︾
Blurr performs better when there's an area for him to move around in, that way he doesn’t have to worry much about obstacles getting in the way.



︾Multitasking︾
Considering that Blurr’s processor is constantly running at insane speeds his body can actually keep up with, the speedster has always found it naturally easy to multitask. He could be having a full blown conversation while typing something out or, he could be working on one project while starting another. As long as he’s kept busy, he won’t complain.



︾Reaction time︾
Whether he tries to be or not, Blurr is visually hyper aware of his surroundings. He’ll usually be the first to greet someone when theyy enter the room, or he can catch something before it hits the ground. Not to mention he’s quick with responses too. He’s constantly aware of what's going on around him.



︾Social skills︾
His entire life, Blurr has always been a part of high social settings. If there's one thing he knows how to do other than run, it's to know the right things to say in different social settings.



︾Compatible Alt Mode︾
Blurr can reach speeds beyond what his vehicle form can handle, as soon as he passes over 200MPH, Blurr’s wheels can fold in and activate a hover technology. His turbo engines lift out from the sides of his alt mode, boosting him to high speeds.



︾Fast Self-Repairing Systems︾
Even naturally, Blurr’s systems are fast and are more efficient than the average Cybertronian. His self-repairing/recovering systems are faster, his strong spark functions efficiently and quickly, considering it handles the stress of abnormal energy usage.



︾Turbo Engines︾
The boosters on his backplate are powerful modded engines that help channel Blurr’s unseen speed. Blurr’s comfortable speed range is anywhere between 400-600 MPH, but on full overdrive, Blurr can reach the sound barrier and even push beyond that speed.



                     



WEAPONRY -

Dual Modded Laser Blasters





Blurr carries two laser blasters, each modified to release charge upon quick fire, allowing Blurr to use them rapidly. Each blaster gets 10 shots before needing to recharge. The faster Blurr pulls the triggers, the longer it takes for the blasters to recharge. Such quick action isn’t normal for any sort of blaster thus, causing more work from these blasters to keep up with the quick speeds Blurr provides. The blasters can only handle two rounds of rapid firing per battle, after that, they will definitely malfunction. When used casually, the blasters have more time to recover, making it recharge slightly quicker if the 10 shots are used. The energy from the blasters are capable of piercing light or medium armor, never surpassing anything with heavy armor. The blasters can do more damage the closer Blurr gets to the target.







                      

《Weaknesses》

︾Rainy Days Inside︾
Blurr was created to run, and small spaces prevent him from doing so. Blurr doesn’t realize how fidgety he really is, he’s always doing something active subconsciously and it gets worse when he has nowhere to go. He craves movement and when he unable to do so, he could become depressed.



︾Slowness︾
Blurr’s speed is unbeatable, but he isn't. If his movement gets impaired in any way, shape or form, Blurr simply can not run and therefore becomes pretty powerless with only his combat skills to save him. A slowed or immobile Blurr is an easy target.



︾Heavy Combat︾
Blurr’s light armor is a weakness within itself. Blurr can’t take a lot of hits which is why he solely relies on his speed to get him in and out of situations.



︾Sharp Turns on a Dime︾
He may be agile and fast, however upon reaching high speeds, Blurr can’t just turn whenever he wants. He actually has to slow down to do such sharp movements. He usually stays low and uses his servo to help guide his movements in which can slow him or stop him. In those moments he’s vulnerable because he can’t control his movement as well as defend himself, especially if he's using his servos to help push, or slingshot himself back into action.



︾Processor Damage︾
Being a racer wasn’t always perfect, especially in the illegal races. Blurr has crashed more times than he can remember and some crashes caused much more damage than the others. Blurr has a hard time remembering things sometimes, such as names, information, or even conversations. Depending on how distant something was, the more likely he’ll forget. Unless someone has a personal relationship with him then he’ll remember them… most of the time.


︾Too Much Speed︾
His top speed in ALT form and bipedal form is 800 MPH, however exceeding such speed does exhaust him after a while, it burns through his energy reserves fairly quickly and tends to refuel often. If he runs for long periods of time, the more tired he gets, the more his frame stains to keep up.



︾Don’t Touch︾
Blurr is very light due to his thin armor. He needs to weigh as little as possible so that running comes easier for him, however due to this he’s very easy to pick up and for some reason some bots like to manhandle him. He hates it.



︾Treacherous Roads︾
In his ALT form, hovering compared to traction with tires has very different handling methods. In order to reach top speeds, Blurr needs a long stretch of road or ground to freely move around and glide, he may be quicker but can’t move as sharply as he could on tires. However when his tires are lowered, he needs smooth land to drive on or else he could send himself flying off by hitting any sort of uneven terrain. Not good.
